Hello, and welcome to Orsa Makes. It's been a while since I posted my last video, so I thought it was about time I went through my yarn stash and selected a few new projects to share with you. Please let me know of any suggestions that you think would pair well with my yarn.

love to hear about other young knitters in Italy! I feel like I never see anyone here in Milano and I wish there was a bit of a community here.

@OrsaMakes 4 месяца назад

Hi! Nice to hear from you. It's so true - there are hardly any younger knitters here. I would love to go to knitting meets or groups but I never really hear of them!

@jpdenboer4365 10 месяцев назад

I just want to say, I truly love your content. I like your style, your mindset regarding what you do and I find your voice very calming. With that said. Please creat whatever you feel inspired by. A video like this one, an travel vlog, just cooking, idk. But the sky is the limet! If you feel inspired and passionate about something, I’m shore I(we as viewers) will feel that and enjoy watching. Life is to short to do something that doesn’t feel right❤️

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the lovely comment - It made my day. I hope that some of what I share is interesting even if it is a little bit different! Genres on RU-vid can feel like an oddly rigid thing sometimes.

I made the fortune sweater by petite knit with drops alpaca silk and I really love it! I held it single, so it didn't take that many balls and it's a super nice and fluffy layer

@OrsaMakes 2 дня назад

Oh I love this sweater! I’ve actually been thinking about casting it on too. Thanks for the suggestion - I’m going to have another look at my stash now.

The green mohair rununculus hands down

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

This is a great suggestion!

@sweetsar04 10 месяцев назад

Welcome back, I so enjoy your videos. I am also looking forward to your new videos. Have a great week!

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching. Wishing you a wonderful start to the week!

@thewoollyworker 10 месяцев назад

Ahhh Isy, your video formats are always so fun and relaxing, you do it so well !!! I could have continued watching this video for hours lol. Your moby sweater is gorgeous, you nailed the fit on it!

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Hi! So glad you enjoyed it. It was lots of fun to make even if it took me an age to get it finished. The Moby Sweater is so cosy - I can’t wait to get the chance to properly wear it.

@rachelmitchell2144 10 месяцев назад

Same!

@lexanneklimes5411 10 месяцев назад

We Grow Wild just posted a video on using up scraps in different ways. I thought it was helpful, but I'm with you. Trying to use up scraps is a bit difficult. We've both got this though.

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the recommendation! I will have to check it out. We've got this!

@suecoles7824 10 месяцев назад

There you are! 😊 you’ve been missed! I do not do social media, so no way of catching up with you. So you are one of the stash gang 😂 like all of us we looked round one day and realised we have bought more yarn than we have time to knit😮 never mind it will get used eventually. Your Moby sweater, and you r blue tee are just stunning, you are a beautiful knitter. If you feel you want to change things up here, go ahead it’s your channel after all, always enjoy seeing and listening to . Suze. 🥰x

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for this lovely comment and being patient with my patchy posting on RU-vid. I’m really excited to share some other bits (maybe some sewing!) as well as my knitting. I never thought I would have a big stash but my recent cupboard clear out indicated otherwise. At least I’ve got some projects sorted for the next few months! 😂 Hope you’re having a lovely start to the week with lots of time for knitting. 🧶😊

@lordhenriknits 10 месяцев назад

I noticed you have some Lalland by Di Gilpin- this is one of my favorite yarns! I found it gorgeous to knit with. I made an Auguste cable cardigan with it (Kolibri by Johanna). If you have a smaller quantity, a cabled hat would be beautiful too, since it's so soft and warm and I think it's designed for texture knits. That's how I plan to use my leftovers.

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Hi! I do - it’s lovely stuff. I got two balls because I planned to use it in some colour work, but I like your idea of a cabled hat. Very excited to use it up!

@YoungfolkKnits 10 месяцев назад

Lovely yarn and plans

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! ❤️

@SylkyJ100 10 месяцев назад

I enjoyed this episode very much! Lots of great inspiration and I love your yarn choices! You have so many great options and that makes me want to go thru my stash!! Love your podcast and your designs very much! Hugs from Texas!

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. You should got through it - you never know what you might find hiding at the back of your cupboard!

@Lisamakes 10 месяцев назад

I tested the Juno as well! Such a great pattern. You have so many gorgeous yarns to use up!

@themindfulcreators 10 месяцев назад

This was such an enjoyable and relaxing video to watch, thank you so much for giving us a peek into your yarn stash 😄❤

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching! It was fun finding projects for what I already have. 🧶❤️

@Bihfob3 10 месяцев назад

you could knit a cumulus blouse with the alpace silk from drops!

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

This is a great suggestion! Thank you 🧶❤️

@brenna1066 10 месяцев назад

I have some Lima as well that I’m intending to use for a My Favorite Things Sweater no. 18! Looking through the projects page there is a good mix of people who use a single yarn alone and also those who hold a lace weight along with - I’m personally leaning towards the Lima alone for more defined stitches ^^

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

The Lima is a gorgeous yarn and would definitely work alone too. I will have to check out the MFT sweater. I might use my Lima alone and try to make something else with the matching Alpaca Silk because it is just so nice.

@vont8332 10 месяцев назад

Hi Isy, just discovered your account and jumped in comments as soon as I saw your Drops Lima ..... I LOVE this yarn and would highly recommend Big Love by Ankestrick. ..it's beyond fabulous and is an absolute dream combo. Currently knitting it in the 'pearl grey' and can't wait to start another in ''dark taupe'. Von in Australia x

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Hi! And welcome! Drops Lima is fab - I have actually had my eye on the Big Love, so will have to see if I’ve got the right quantity. Thanks for watching and the great suggestion. 🧶☺️

@vont8332 10 месяцев назад

@@OrsaMakes Lovely to hear from you. I'm loving your podcast. I think the M1 size of the Big Love will end up using 12-13 balls. I have just made a gilet version without the sleeves to wear over my long sleeved T's and it's taken 9 balls. Take care and have a lovely day. Von x

@Lavendare1023 10 месяцев назад

Do you need easy small commute knitting? Are you able to knit during work breaks? Can you only knit at home after work and on days off? Approximately how much time can spend on this hobby per day/week? Starting early on your Dad's scarf will take the stress off - unless you are a person who thrives on pressure. The summer knits you are making are beautiful. Missed you and look forward to seeing in your evolving style on RU-vid ❤.

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

These are all excellent questions! I work from home - so no commute and not many breaks. I also do a lot of typing and don't get the chance to knit during the day at all. I'm hoping to get in an hour or two before and after work each day now that my schedule is more manageable. I will probably start his scarf asap - fingers crossed I get it done in time. If not, it will be a present for Xmas. Thanks so much for watching!

@maradevincenzi8388 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!

@Marvelie 10 месяцев назад

Great video and lovely projects! I really enjoyed this kind of video format especially for showing your yarn stash and I might have to borrow your idea for my own stash tour video☺could I ask what book the fair isle pattern is in? It looks incredible!

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

So glad you enjoyed it! The book is called Vintage Fashion Knitwear - lots of lovely inspiration.

@rachelmitchell2144 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love your format! ❤

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

❤️❤️ Thanks for watching!

@nickyh 10 месяцев назад

Lovely to see you back! Great idea to use scraps for the Scout Shawl! I may join you in that 💖

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

You should! It's a beautiful pattern. Thank you for watching :)

@angelawilliams3343 10 месяцев назад

One of a kate has some fun designs she is working on that are elegant. I also love shawls. ❤️ love your stash.

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Oh thank you! I will check her out.

Hallo from South Africa.

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Hello! 🧶❤️

@jobradshaw86 10 месяцев назад

For your alpaca the Easy Spring cardigan by easy as knit might be cute?

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

Love this suggestion! Very cute cardigan ❤️🧶

@Enig_Mata 10 месяцев назад

This was a fun episode - your moby sweater turned out so well. I can't tell what the first sweater you were wearing (0:49) was, but the fabric and color are beautiful. Is that merino/mohair held together?

@OrsaMakes 10 месяцев назад

So glad you enjoyed it! The blue sweater is the Cumulus Blouse (mohair and a discontinued Drops silk alpaca blend). The pinky/purple one is two strands of mohair silk held together. They both get loads of wear and I can't wait for the Autumn to bring them out again.
